I picked up 300 copes of HJBA, PB#1 yesterday, and there's some good
news for you, and some bad news for me. There were some printing
glitches, so the first run isn't perfect. Sigh. That means that for
the first 300 copies, there will be 3 breakdowns in price.

If you want to get one of the first run, choose one of these three
price breakdowns. I'll not put this on the webpage, as that would get
too damn confusing, and I'm trying to get this re-done pronto. If you
want the break, order NOW from HERE.
Thank you, Mercury Retrograde, you are such a great bringer of
humility and re-evaluation! (An Aries should really have know better
than print in a Mars ret....)

So ... if you order the pattern book now ..... please choose:

1) a mostly decent 1st edition copy, signed, numbered dated, with a
nice letter to you, personally, and 2 signed frameable prints of my
work .... that'll be the $20 book. If you've already ordered, that's
what you get because you paid me for it.

2) a faily decent copy, signed, numbered, dated, incscribed to you
.... that'll be $16. No extra frameable prints.

3) one of the copies that's got ink density problems, perfectly
wonderful for your work table but FAR from perfect in terms of
reproduction quality .... $12. I'll sign it and all that ... but ....
it's just not a press masterpiece. If you are a henna artist that
understands that the newest book on your table is the ONLY place that
a client will park a beer or lemonade ... TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS! Get
several! The patterns are really pretty damn good .... and your
client won't notice that there are ink problems.

Wholesale .... I'd rather wait till I have perfect copies to send you!
After 30 years of doing business getting my ass chewed regularly by
galleries and museums who have hired people so anally retentive
people that they never sit down for fear of sucking up the furniture
... I absolutely CANNOT put anything out that I'm not certain is
PERFECT!

So ... this run is for henna artists only! I'm negotiating to have a
flawless run done soon ..... I take the hit, you get the break!

With a little luck, these 300 little misfits will disappear FAST ....
so call me, 330-688-1130, mail (4237 Klein, Stow, Ohio, 44224) or
email me. Visa, Master, checks, MO's. Priority shipping in the US is
$4.

down the rabbit hole, looking for henna pattern books at a substantial discount!
